not venturing an opinion but..

perhaps you could get an MRI pre-op It can show false positives, but it also can show DCIS and recurrence that does not show up on mammograms and ultrasounds. Wouldn't it be nice to know more what might be lurking in that breast?

If you had multicentric disease perhaps that would influence their decision re mastectomy vs rads.

I am suffering from 9 time zones difference jetlag, so don't think any other opinion would be useful right now.

In the best of all possible worlds they would let you get a PET scan and other staging tests AND a bone marrow to help you in your decision.

Best of luck
